Geo. III. Durham of Manchester,
IN. H., was in town Wednesday.
A number of cases of canker-rash
are reported among the children. The
disease is taking a mild form, but
none the less needs special watchfuI-
ness and care.
There will be a conference and
prayer meeting in the Christian

The picnic of the O. E. S. on Sat-
urday, adjourned to Masonic Hall on
account of the weather. Quite a
number were present from the Eden
and Wolcott Chapters, and notwith-
standing the weather, very pleasant
time is reported.
The union temperance meeting held
at the Congregational church Sunday
evening was we'll attended, and some
very interesting remarks were made
by ministers of the different societies.
Rev. Mr.. Hyde was first called upon
to speak upon the relations of the
temperance work to the church. His
remarks were very interesting and
to the point. Arthur Cheney, late
chief of the Good Templars' Lodge,
spoke in regard to the condition and
work of the Lodge here. Mrs. c. A.
Patten responded to the request for
words from the w. G. I. U. In re-
gard to temperance workings else
where, Mai. Stafford related what he
had observed in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Massachusetts.
P. K. Gleed spoke few words to the
young people.
During the present week the citi-
zens of this place will be given a
chance to subscribe for tickets to the
lecture course heretofore mentioned
in our columns. In explanation we
may say that it is proposed to furnish
six exceptionally fine entertainments,
as good as those given in the courses
of larger places, and TO consist of
such a variety of concerts, lectures,
etc., to suit, and only frst-class tai
ent will be engaged, and if we have a
course at all it will be a good one.
Some time during the ensuing week,
if the sale of sufficient number of
tickets to give reasonable assurance
of success, is guaranteed, meeting
will be called, at which all those who
have procured, or intend to purchase
tickets, are desired to be present,
when an organization will be perfec-
ted and more definite arrangements
made. This is not a money making
scheme. There will be no compli-
mentary tickets, all will be treated
alike, and the money received will all
be returned in the form of entertain
ments. The project is worthy of
hearty support on the part of all, and
recollect that upon the number of
tickets subscribed depends the success
or failure of the enterprise, so govern
yourself accordingly.
